--Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : Enlarge the two top pendants, or the lowest : brooch in the photo of Crown Princess : Margaret of Sweden - they have clearly been : photoshoped. : : I don't know how many rosette pendants it : was, but this photo is not a reliable : source. : : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you for your input Knightship and the : photos for comparison. You say that the : photo of Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden : taken in connection with the coronation of : George V has been photoshopped. Is there any : clear evidence that this is the case? From : your photo of Queen Sofia in your post it is : evident that emerald rosette pendants equal : to the ones we have seen worn by Crown : Princess Märtha and Queen Astrid did exists. : And if now it is also true that Princess : Margaretha had two of these, then there must : have been either more than just three : pendants originally or a fourth one made to : match the original three. I am inclined to : think that it would not really make much : sense to make a fourth one just so that : Princess Margrethe could have two. But of : course, this is just pure speculation on my : part. I am more inclined to think that more : pendants did exists originally and that : Queen Sofia only chose to wear three in that : photo. Should a photo pre-photoshopped of : Crown Princess Margaret come to light where : she is only wearing three pendants (or none : for that matter) for the coronation of : George V then I will of course have to : re-consider. : : --Previous Message-- : Many have argued that there were seven : rosette : pendants to the emerald parure necklace, : referring to a photo of Crown Princess : Margaret of Sweden (nee Connaught). : However, the photo of Margaret is : photoshoped and is a fake source in regards : to the number of pendants and brooches to : the parure. : : One can only spot two identical rosette : pendants in the photo of Queen Sofia of : Sweden (nee Nassau), i.e. three too make it : symmetrical. : Sofia might have had more rosette pendants, : but I haven’t found any reliable source for : this argument. : : Princess Ingeborg of Sweden (nee Denmark) : inherited the emerald parure from her mother : in-law and was pictured with a single : rosette pendant. : : When Ingeborg’s daughters Astrid and Martha : married into the Belgium and Norwegian royal : family, they both received an emerald gift : set from their parents with: : one identical rosette pendant, individually : pair of earrings and a brooch. (Astrid and : Martha’s earrings and brooch have never been : part of the emerald parure). : : (I have never seen any photo of the two : emerald pendants given to Princess : Margaretha that Glenn mentioned, so I know : nothing about this). : : : Queen Sofia with two and Princess Ingeborg : with one emerald rosette pendant. : : : : Princess Martha and Astrid with the emerald : wedding gift set from their parents with : identical rosette pendants (someone might : have a better photo of Astrid). : : : : Queen Sonja with Martha's rosette pendant, : another squared emerald pendant and a : squared emerald bracelet. : I don’t know if the last two pieces are : original pendants, or other parts of the : parure. : : : : : : : : : : : : :
